Why Female Serial Killers Kill

http://psychology.suite101.com/article.cfm/female_serial_killers
i found this website really interesting, it talks about how female killers kill for diffent reasons than males and what kind of thing drives them to kill. It talks about the differences and simularities between male killers and female killers including their motives and the way in which they do kill, also what kind of characteristics female killers have.

After reading the comments that are left on the blog aswell i found some interesting opions on the subject including...

"You mention that men are more aggressive and violent than women. This is a simplification. Women don't commit as many violent crimes mostly because they are physically weaker than males, so they are less likely to use violence while committing crimes (guys can overpower people much easier and will have a much higher success rate while using violence). There are hundreds of studies that show that women are as violent, if not more violent, then men. This link: http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm is to a site with many studies showing that women are as aggressive as men (though the studies are only about relationships)."
